The Misfits: Book I
It’s the space adventure you’ve always wanted with the crew you never expected.
When Hale Burch lost both his legs and an arm at the height of the West Battery War, he doubted if he’d even make it to rehab, much less back to the Service of the Lettered Systems he’d sworn to defend. But this new chapter in his life was destined to be far different from anything he’d bargained for. Alongside the galaxy’s most unlikely gang of compatriots, Burch was about to partake in missions he couldn’t possibly have fathomed. His new ship, the Yankee-Chaos—a beat-up, mid-sized troop transporter—had a secret that made it unique in the galaxy. And her crew, like Burch, were all looking for a place to belong, some space to heal, and a mission that was meaningful.
Before long, an apocalypse, a mysterious alien artifact, a timelord at the center of the galaxy, an ageless terrorist wizard, the galaxy’s deadliest special operator, an ancient Prime AI, and the daughter of the most powerful politician in the history of the human race all somehow end up crossing paths with Burch and the Yankee-Chaos—all in the first four log entries!
Follow along with Hale Burch and his new friends as they try to unravel the mystery of the origins of the West Battery War, a mission so complex and perplexing no single episode, chapter, book, nor even a single timeline could possibly hope to contain it.
The Misfits are here, and the galaxy will never be the same!

This is quite possibly my favourite author of recent times and not to understate just how good Mr Rowe is he voices his audiobook himself and he absolutely knocks it out of the stratosphere, yeah he knocked it out of the park and it's probably hurtling through space at this point.
The writing is on point, the characters phenomenally interesting with their own little idiosyncratic tendencies and especially my favourite Mr Sebastian Pollock aka Transom.
If Rowe reads this he's right now just thought to himself Ahaaa, that's TheEedjit!
Tis I my good fella, tis I indeed me.
Not only is his writing great, his audiobooks are outstanding, try him on YouTube for free.

You can come back and thank me later and leave your reviews.
Not just that but he's a sincerely awesome gentleman too.
